All three East Lancashire teams could be in round four action on Saturday, January 26 after all three games were given confirmed dates.

Stanley owner Andy Holt revealed the Reds will pocket £150,000 for the game being shown on television when they host either Southampton or Derby. Those two will play their replay at St Mary’s on Wednesday after a 2-2 draw last weekend to determine who will face Stanley at the Wham Stadium later this month.

Rovers are in replay action next week, a game also to be shown on BT Sport. They host Newcastle United after a 1-1 draw at St James’ Park last weekend.

The winners of that tie will host Premier League side Watford, a game which won’t be shown on television. That means it will kick off at 3pm on Saturday, January 26.

For Rovers, if they don’t get past Newcastle, they will play their scheduled Championship fixture against Hull City against Ewood Park on the same date after the Tigers were knocked out in round three by Millwall.

Burnley meanwhile, announced their fourth round tie at Manchester City will take place on Saturday, January 26 (3pm).

The Clarets face a trip to the Etihad to face the Premier League champions, just as they did in round three last year.
